Welcome to the RPM Seven Day Soundtrack, week ending Friday 15th August 2025...it's another scorcher, and that's not just the weather...over to...

Piers -

"Heat wave number 4! At least we don't have a hose pipe ban yet! (how to talk one up!)  But for the mo, I'm staying in the shade... I suggest everybody else does too!

But this summer sun does somehow make having everybody's play lists, to dip into from time to time, even more important."

John -

"Hello RPMers. Here are three tracks that I've listened to this week..."

Jayne -

"Greetings RPMers; this week I’m sharing a Cornish shantyish song played to me by a volunteer gardening colleague whilst we were picking dwarf French beans this week, a track I tripped over on late night R3, and some Norwegian hardinger fiddle."

Dave -

"Hi RPMers, hope you are all well. Here’s my 3."

Nina -

"Hi folks. Hope you're all well.

I was in Coventry helping my folks last week. 3 hours at Walsgrave hospital with my mother last Friday was eased by checking out previous week's RPM choices. 3 days on Dartmoor exploring ancient sites, stone rows & the night sky followed - perfect antidote.

Two this week inspired by sunny summer vibes + a nod to Oz."

David -

"Thanks to all for last week's tunes. I spent a few days sitting by the pond backtracking over selections from the past year from the RPM catalogue. Here's some other stuff I listened to."

Tim -

"This time..."

"...something from an English roots rock band at the height of their powers..."

"...another Irish reel with two (at least) names, which has become tune session homework; The Eel In The Sink is the same tune as The Blackthorn, apparently, and is indeed found on this Irish trad classic..."

"...and a live version of the title track from a recent favourite album...you've already been regaled with the studio version, of course."

'Til Next Time...
